Real Madrid 'targeting Atheltic Bilbao's Simon to replace Courtois in goal'

Real Madrid are reportedly targeting Atheltic Bilbao's Unai Simon to replace Thibaut Courtois in goal.

The Belgian's form has again come under scrutiny this season and he has not been a hit with Madrid fans since his move from Chelsea in the summer of 2018.

And now Courtois could find himself being replaced as Madrid are interested in Simon, according to El Desmarque.

The Bilbao No 1 has a contract until 2023 and reportedly has a £43million buy-out clause in that deal.

In 10 matches this season Courtois has conceded 12 goals and kept just three clean sheets while Simon has let in four goals and had four shut outs in eight games.

Courtois did keep a clean sheet in Zinedine Zidane's side's Champions League group-stage win over Galatasaray on Tuesday night.
